I have a system with nearly identical specs that runs DNS and some other 
minor services on our external network.  While I can't comment on NetBSD, I 
would suggest that with FreeBSD in that little memory, you should take the 
time to configure and compile a stripped-down kernel.  It saves 5 or 6 MB 
of ram on mine (ie:  a good chuck of 64MB!)
